Default How much oil does it take?

I have a 98 Grand Cherokee V8 - 5.2L 4x4.

I just changed the oil. I drained less than a gallon of oil out and it took a gallon to fill. Is this right? I would think an engine this size would take at least a gallon and a half.

What gives? How much oil should this thing take?

The V-8 holds 5 quarts when changing the oil filter also.
